Local Lions club ready for their projects
Letaba Tzaneen Lions Club held their monthly meeting on February 9, where the year’s projects were discussed, and planning for charitable actions was done.
They are raising funds for flu injections for the pensioners at Pioniers Old Age Home and Goue Jare Old Age Home in the form of a raffle. “Up for grabs is a huge glass jar with Easter eggs and a surprise inside. The value of the prize is over R500. Together we can make a difference,” says Lion Christa Koekemoer. To support the fundraiser, buy a ticket for R20 and guess the number of Easter eggs in the jar.
The jar with Easter eggs can be viewed at Hair Fusion Salon. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, April 5. For more information or to buy tickets, contact Christa on 082 5567 499. In another raffle launched by the club, participants stand the chance to win a jerry that can be filled with 20 litres of diesel or petrol. The Jerry Can Raffle is an initiative to raise funds to build the club’s community service centre.
